Translation of the song Pois foi artist Deolinda

Sempre a mesma esplanada

Always the same esplanade

copo de água e café

Cup of water and coffee

se o mundo me irritava

If I said the world annoyed me

ele dizia: ah! pois é!

He would say: ah! I see!

ahan! pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

uhum, pois é!

Hm hm, I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

Entre o cigarro que fumava

Between the cigarette he smoked

e a conversa habitual

And the same conversation every day

se o país me indiginava

If I said the country upset me

ainda baixava o jornal

He wouldn't even put down the paper

aham! tsc! pois é!

Hm hm! Tss! I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

tsc! uhum, pois é!

Tss! Hm hm, I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

E a rotina assim passava

And our routine went on like that

e assinava infeliz

And it made me unhappy

se eu a vida criticava

If if I would criticize life

ele coçava o nariz!

He would scratch his nose

aham! pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

umpf! pois, pois, pois é!

Hmm! I see, I see, I see!

Uhum! Pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

umpf! pois, pois, pois é!

Hmm! I see, I see, I see!

trinta anos

30 years old

e eu tão farta

And I'm so tired

se eu lhe falava de mim

If I would talk to him about myself

ele passava a mão na barba

He would stroke his beard

ainda me dizia assim

And still he would say this

aham! pois é...

Hm hm! I see...

pois, pois, pois é...

I see, I see, I see...

uhum! pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

Um dia viu-me espantado

One day he saw me to his surprise

acompanhada no café

Accompanied in the café

perguntou: é namorado?

He asked: Is this your boyfriend?

e eu respondi

And I answered him

pois é... aham! pois é...

I see... Hm hm! I see...

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see!

upf! uhum! pois é!

Hm! Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see

Tsc! Umpf! Uhum, Pois é!

Tss! Hmm! Hm hm, I see!

pois é...

I see...

pois, pois, pois é...

I see, I see, I see...

aham! pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois, pois é...

I see, I see, I see...

aham! pois é...

Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois, pois é!

I see, I see, I see...

uhum!, pois é!

Hm hm! I see!

pois, pois...

I see...
